Comments on: Basecamp – great for communication, bad for finding information http://rashmisinha.com/2007/04/06/basecamp-great-for-communication-bad-for-finding-information/ Thoughts about people, technology and running a company Tue, 15 May 2012 11:26:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: cathrene http://rashmisinha.com/2007/04/06/basecamp-great-for-communication-bad-for-finding-information/#comment-11303 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:15:13 +0000 http://www.rashmisinha.com/?p=266#comment-11303 I have recently switch Basecamp to ProofHub because whatever problem you are facing ProofHub solves it. Now I can manage multiple projects and clients in a center. I can reply there itself, need not to open any other account.

But IMHO many have a significant flaw: they have been concieved by developers.

OK developers are smart people. But they have a limited range of project management needs.

Sorry guys but software development is only a minority sport ie “real world” projects have different needs. To take one and extend it to the other only works up to a point.

Our take on this is Dooster an organising
tool for small businesses and individuals

Hope you like it ;-))

It’s completely browser-based, really easy to use, and has a free version. Cool videos too – I love it!

Check out OnStage, for example. I think you will find that competitors like these offer a greater level of customer service and in some cases can provide more features while maintaining ease-of-use.

I have either had to mould our processes around the software or use two-to-three different ones to fulfill all requirements.
But this was before I came across Drupal. Ungodly powerful and ludicrously flexible as it is, it allows me to do whatever I want and the way I want it—no compromises. It requires a lot of initial tweaking but once set up, it functions extremely smoothly. Although it is touted as a CMS, I think Drupal is capable of almost anything! I have been using Drupal for the past few months both as a knowledge management solution and a project management tool without any complaints. You should give it a look.

It’s getting really good response, so take a look at it, thanks.

For example, the more stuff that builds up in my Flickr account, the more I rely on developing good tagging habits so that I can find things later.

So even once we’ve got tagging in place, a lot depends on figuring out how to tag usefully for self and other people. Part of the key to this is thinking into the future, so a way that seems logical to tag today might not make sense anymore three years from now as material accumulates!

Give it a try. It is a web based project management software with lots of collaboration features and a very good search engine. Also check out their workflow module. It’s quite unique.
